EXCLUSIVE: Sony Pictures is starting to get hot and heavy with Sex Tape, the Kate Angelo-scripted comedy that the studio acquired in June in a seven-figure spec deal. The script’s about a married couple who take a night off from their kids, decide to get adventurous and spice things up by making a private sex tape. When they wake up, the tape is gone and they go on a desperate search to find it.
I’m told that Nick Stoller is in talks to direct the film, and that the studio wants Jason Segel and Reese Witherspoon to play the couple. I’ve been hearing this for awhile, and now the offers are going out. The comedy will be produced by Escape Artists partners Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch, who came up with the idea. Stoller co-wrote The Muppets with Segel.


Nick Stoller is great, that being said, I am over both Witherspoon and Jason Segal. No interest in seeing either one of them
When an actress marries an agent, it strips her of anything that might have been appealing.
Congrats to all involved. I remember loving this episode of “Mad About You.”
Snort!!
I hated Mad About You, and even I remember that episode! This is going to be awful. So over Reese “I’m a Southern debutante” Witherspoon.
Ugh. This script was terrible. A major Segel/Stoller rewrite please.
Agreed. This script needs a major rewrite to work, hopefully Jason Segel will do a page 1.
Jason Segel is the man…Reese get out of here.
What is the infatuation with Jason?
Several actors pitched this script with Scarlett Johansson as the wife.
She said, “It’s not believable that I would stay married long enough to have several small children.”
“Yes, but until last month, it wasn’t believable that you would do a sex tape.”
This would make a great sequel to Date Night
You nailed it. Carrell and Fey would be perfect for this concept.
don’t understand the success of Segal. I know his old assistant so I’ve met the guy. He’s quite unattractive, but his personality is worse. He is very needy and needs constant reassurance that he’s a star. he’s like a 6 foot three inch baby
Why can’t Reese do decent dramas? Always comedy and/or melodramatic fluff.
The last few years worth of work prove to me that Walk The Line was a lucky fluke and she won Joaquin’s oscar.
Take the paycheque Reese phone it in and promote it with all your southern spirit.Just dont read the reviews and keep telling yourself you’re one special snowflake.
This sounds so stupid. Lame actually. Another Date Night.
Crazy, Stupid, Love was actually about something and had a great cast and a great script.
Reese needs a hit… probably even more after thsi
If Jason Segel and Reese Witherspoon are cast, then Reese will be a cougar in this. She is 35 and he is 31.
Besides thinking that was an egregious statement to make, I’m not sure you actually know what the term “cougar” means.
Oh please get someone else besides Reese Witherspoon. The woman can’t even open a movie.
Steve Tisch came up with this idea? What did he do… watch any sitcom now in it’s third season? This idea is so old it qualifies for a pension.
Wasn’t Jason Segel in the recent “Bad Teacher” that grossed over $100M?.
Why all this hate for Reese? Is it a crime to like doing comedies?
“Legally Blonde” was one of the best of the last decade. And I’ve never seen her do a bad job, even if the concepts of the rest weren’t as good. This sounds right up her alley.
You’re right, but this idea feels a bit outside of Reese’s wheelhouse.
This is what happens if you win an Academy Award and marry a CAA agent. You end up performing for dictators. Reese run don’t walk from Jason Siegel and this douchey concept. Wasn’t this an episode of Modern Family? Or Raymond?
Dear Santa: I don’t ask for much but I’ve been good this year. Will you please put Jason and Reese and this HORRIBLE script in a small boat with some vodka and send them off to a desert island? Please? Sincerely yours, Pablo.
Reese! ! ! Oh how I LOVE her in ELECTION. And she was exquisite as June alongside Joaquin. She is extraordinary. Her personal relations? Who cares. I wish her continued success as I so enjoy her work.
I like Jason, but Reese? She is an old lady now (she looks old). I guess when you are married to an agent you can get whatever roles you want. She has worn out her welcome and believeability and box office success. Her next movie looks like a REAL stinker.
